Efforts to refill FEMA disaster fund face competing priorities
Roll Call – Some House lawmakers who represent hurricane-prone districts want an emergency spending bill to ensure the government does not run out of money in the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s disaster relief fund, joining a small but growing Senate effort.
Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla., who represents a southwestern Florida district, said in a statement that he supports a clean disaster supplemental “without progressive pork and free from any language that is not directly related to disaster relief efforts.”
